His feral little cat turned to mush and he pulled her off the wall to sit down before he fell down. Yue left her pinned and heaving to his front and leaned back against the wall, closing his eyes.

She huffed, amused.

'What? ' He asked, morbidly curious.

'Never thought getting cleaned up would be so dirty, ' she sounded exhausted, as though sleep wasn 't far off.

He took the clean cloth she had set aside and wet it, adding a touching soap. Gently, carefully he finished the job she started on both of them. To his delight for the second time she fell asleep in his arms after such an encounter, completely limp, relaxed and utterly trusting.

Standing with her against his chest he grabbed a couple towels and patted her to damp before surrendering her to the bed.
